Contact Sun Remarketing who advertises in the back of MacWorld, and other Mac
mags.  They have re-written MacWorksXL (apple's Mac emulator sw for Lisa) to
fully emulate a Plus.  Don't know about AppleShare though.

The following note is from the author of MacWorks Plus (published by

GTE is running LaserShare under MacWorks Plus 1.1, which is currently in
Beta.  It ought to be available in just two or three more weeks, if that.
I'm just about done with the bug lists...

BTW, we only support AppleShare 1.1 at the present time.  Apple made some
hardware-dependent updates to the Appletalk driver that we're trying to get
them to fix.  However, AppleShare2.0 clients work fine.
